Brief Summary

Geriatric problems develop with aging in individuals over 60 years of age. These problems include muscle weakness, balance disorders and changes in quality of life. The aim of our study is to examine the effects of BAPNE (BMe) and qi gong (QG) exercises on balance and quality of life in individuals over the age of 60. In this study, parameters such as fall risk, muscle testing, balance, functional capacity, cognitive functions, depression and sleep quality were evaluated. 56 participants were included in the study. All cases were evaluated for the first time before they were included in the study. In the initial evaluation, Itaki fall risk questionnaire, 6-minute walk test, Berg balance scale, Pittsburg sleep quality index, World Health Organization quality of life scale elderly module, Beck depression scale, mini mental state test, object flipping test, word fluency test, stroop test, muscle strength with Jtech brand myometer and balance on Libra balance board were measured. Participants were divided into groups of 2-6 people, and second assessments were made after a total of 20 sessions of BMe exercises for 6 weeks. After a 2-week rest period, the participants were included in the third assessment and included a total of 20 sessions of QG exercise over 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks, the fourth evaluation was made.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Ithaki Fall Risk Questionnaire

  This developed scale consists of a total of 19 risk factors, including risk factors that may cause patient falls. Risk factors were categorized as major and minor, and minor risk factors were given 1 point and major risk factors were given 5 points. Two risk levels, low and high, were determined over the total score obtained as a result of the evaluation of risk factors. In order to distinguish high-risk patients and to take necessary precautions, it is envisaged to use the "Four Leaf Clover" figure in patients at high risk of falling.

• Berg Balance Scale

  Berg balance scale is a valid, reliable and sensitive measurement method that measures functional balance. The test, which includes 14 functional tests and is completed in an average of 10-20 minutes, has a score between 0-4. At 0, the loss of balance is maximum, while at a value of 4, the patient is independent of balance. The maximum score of the test is 56, and the minimum score is 0. A high score indicates good functional balance.

  14 weeks

• Libra Balance Board

  Balance board produced by Easytech is a computer aided balance measuring device. This device measures 42x9x42 cm and weighs 2.7 kilograms. It gives a score out of 100, 0 points the best balance and 100 points the worst balance.

  14 weeks

• Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

  Buysse et al. It is a scale that defines good and bad sleep, developed by in 1989. A total of 24 questions, 19 of which are self-assessed, and 5 are answered by a roommate or spouse. These assess sleep duration, latency, and the frequency and severity of specific sleep-related problems. Evaluated with points between 0-3.

  14 weeks

• WHOQOL-old

  It consists of 24 questions translated into Turkish as the World Health Organization quality of life module for the elderly. Validity reliability Eser S. et al. module made by; autonomy, past present and future activities, social inheritance, death-death and intimacy.
